SME Sector as a Potential Recipient of the Local Export Development Fund

Abstract

This article is an attempt to identify the needs of small and medium enterprises of Podkarpackie voivodeship in the scope of export support as well as establishing and developing economic contacts with subjects from the EU. As it is suggested by the conducted research, there is a considerable need to the use of export instruments and activities. Unfortunately, their implementation is faced with numerous limitations both on the side of enterprises themselves and their environment. It needs to be emphasised, however, that it requires changes not only at the administrative and legal level, but also at mental-related one.
